ST MEMS functional sensors act as standalone components, automatically detecting events such as screen rotation (portrait/landscape) and providing digital output signals through dedicated interrupt lines to significantly reduce computational effort on external MCUs.
ST functional sensors provide many advantages over traditional devices. Negligible friction and wear assure higher reliability over device lifetime, while the integration of 3-dimensional structures in ever-smaller packages makes ST MEMS products extremely attractive for markets and applications where the size is a key factor. |

| The key features of ST MEMS functional sensors are: |
 |
Standalone solution to simplify and speed up integration in complex systems |
|
Higher reliability compared to standard devices |
|
Low power consumption and power-down mode for battery-operated devices |
|
Small and thin packages for size-sensitive applications |
|
Testability after assembly without movement |
|
ECOPACK, RoHS and green compliant |
|
MEMS functional sensors address a wide array of applications including image rotation in portable devices and digital photoframes, button replacement and motion-triggered wake up.
